Housemarque developing a “spiritual successor” to the Super Stardust franchise on PlayStation 4

Helsinki, Finland, May 23 – Housemarque, the award winning developer of downloadable hit titles such as Dead Nation, Outland and Super Stardust HD, announced they are hard at work on a (still unnamed) “spiritual successor” to the Super Stardust franchise. The game will be released as a PlayStation®4 (PS4) exclusive.

Tilting Point – a US-based publishing fund founded by Tom Frisina (formerly head and founder of EA Partners) – has debuted yesterday with the following statement:

“Our view is that independent developers own the future of games,” said Tom Frisina, Executive Chairman of Tilting Point. “However, a studio’s potential can be severely hindered without a partner they can trust to help navigate the challenges of discoverability and monetization.

We will nurture the best teams, positioning them for independent success over the long term. We’re taking the expertise and resourcefulness gained from our combined backgrounds and applying them to a new publishing model, where development talent gains the tools to control their own destiny.”

Over the past year, Tilting Point has signed agreements with several of the world’s most successful game makers, including Signal Mobile, Housemarque, and 1337 Game Design & Senri, with more high profile deals in negotiation. The company will release its first titles in 2013 while continuing to grow its assemblage of elite development partners.”

Oops, we did it again!

For the fourth time since 2009, Housemarque entered the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 list. According to Ilari Kuittinen, Housemarque’s CEO, “the company has been growing quite a lot recently, and this recognition is a testament of that. We are now working on several unannounced projects, and our hope is to be on this list next year too.”

Look forward to what we are cooking up…

Housemarque and Angry Birds fans, the day you’ve been waiting for has finally arrived: the console version of Angry Birds Trilogy is now available at retail outlets across Europe!

In a first-of-its-kind Angry Birds experience, you’re now able to play through three award-winning titles: Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio. Angry Birds Trilogy is available for Xbox 360 (Kinect compatible) and PS3 (Move compatible). As we confirmed back in July, Housemarque was Rovio’s developer of choice for both versions of the game.

HELSINKI, FINLAND – September 03, 2012

Housemarque, the award-winning Finnish games developer responsible for Angry Birds Trilogy, has released Furmins Free, a free version of Furmins HD, the critically-acclaimed physics-based action puzzler for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. The game’s furry protagonists are already a household name in the iOS community, and Housemarque hopes this offering will only add to their popularity. “We believe this step will allow us to tap into a brand-new audience,” said Ilari Kuittinen, Housemarque’s CEO. “We feel there are a lot of gamers out there who perhaps did not have a chance to play the original version, and so we wanted to offer them another opportunity.”
